The more I hear about the Wolverine the more I get excited. I still very much question Fox and how they wil handle this shared universe because frankly, like WB/DC, I don’t think Fox is ready to handle this task. I just hope somehow someway they make an actual Deadpool movie. That is all I ask.

I think you guys went too hard on the Quentin Tarantino / Jonah Hill cameo. Honestly, the casual moviegoer wouldn’t even know who Quentin Tarantino looks like so its not all that bad. And maybe Jonah Hill didn’t have to be in there, but people laughed during that scene. The only problem I have with the film is that its too long, and I thought it was going to end in two different places.

The Walking Dead should stick a little bit more to the comics imo, but I think the show will be safe until like season 7. After season 7, I think the viewers will decrease a little and the quality will go downhill, unless Kirkman has some great ideas in his head for the comic.

Tay – I think the Hill cameo is an example of how, given a more focused approach, Tarantino could have cut down the runtime (addressing your concern that it’s too long). I, personally, felt like some of those scenes were drawn-out to the point that laughter in my audiences started to fizzle out.

I think we have to agree to disagree about the Tarantino cameo. I don’t necessarily have a problem with him being in the film, I just think the cameo came at an inappropriate time and his accent was distractingly bad. It would be even worse, in my opinion, if you didn’t know that it was him.

I see Walton Goggins is also in the new G.I. JOE film, he is a very underrated actor, i just hope he breaks the typecasting. He is starting to
be like Sam Jackson his name is popping up every where….He was the one of the best things about Predators…

The goodness of vactors haul is relative to how many people gave him stuff.
example
vactors haul / 1-3 people = big
vactors haul / 4-6 people = medium
vactors haul / 7-8 people = cool
but its all still impressive if he got what he wanted

Just wanted to say Happy New Years to everyone on the Podcast keep up the good work & The Wolverine was something I wasn’t excited for simply because I wanted someone else to play Wolverine, Hugh Jackman’s done a fine job in some movies but the character could use a fresh take/face but the involvement of Christopher McQuarrie(screenplay) has peaked my interest & I am interested in where they are going in Days of Future Past, something about having the Old cast & the New Cast with the added elements of a Time Travel Crisis & Sentinels involved make it exciting…

Well Ben you got me there, although I guess I did paint myself into a corner by proposing the idea of changing him but I would probably get someone who’s roughly 30 & do it like they did for X-Men by casting a relative unknown like Hugh Jackman or how they did for Thor with Chris Hemsworth or even how they did for Arrow like Stephen Amell it wold have to be a relative unknown also Hugh has done a fine job I’m not saying he’s been bad but I would like to what a young 29 year old Karl Urban type could do with the role now on a side note Karl Urban would’ve been pretty cool as Wolverine…

Awesome podcast guys. i love the news brief segment the most especialy when it pertains to things im generally intreseted in.the walking dead news is good and bad. the renewal of the season 4 is fantasitc but mazarra was doing a great job i think. this show does draw from comics really well. im to the point in the comis where kofi is but uh for the most part its been transferred really well from page to screen. personally i dont mind slower character development story arcs becasue im all for character development and getting to know smaller characters as well as traveling deeper into main characters. im always trested about things that happend in the past or the issus characters are struggling with. season 2 was a great season and season 3 is action packed with development (with the exeption of michonne who needs way more development)

I just saw an article recently that said a major theater chain is considering sectioning off a chunk of each theater for smartphone addicts. Meaning, when you go to a theater, you could choose to sit in a separated section where you can mess with your phone the whole movie.

Hey I’ve to agree about Tarantino…but I still prefer Inglorious B. over Kill Bill saga, probably because it’s more a direct homage to our EU old movies (IB was also inspired by an old Castellari’s western, a quite unknown B movie). Regardless you’re even lucky since no matter what but he manages to still do interesting films, oops we can’t say exactly the same about our local popular director Dario Argento instead… ;-D)
